Changes in sleep habits

LO is almost 6 weeks old. We've never had trouble putting him down drowsy and him falling asleep. Suddenly the last few days he won't sleep anywhere but in my arms. I put him down drowsy and he lays there and cries. I try waiting until he's asleep and he wakes up when I put him down. He won't even fall asleep in the swing, which he's done since he was born. Any advice? I go back to work on Monday and I'm really worried I won't make it if we don't get this figured out!

    My DS is going through something similar (6weeks). He's fine at night but during the day he will only nap if I'm holding him. I'm thinking it's a growth spurt. Swaddling him has helped sometimes but other than that I'm on the couch holding him so he sleeps at least one good stretch. Sorry I don't have much help, but hopefully it will pass good luck!

    I think that there is a 6 week growth spurt, and that is also around the time of the first Wonder Week transition. It is common for babies to want to be held more during those times, so I would not worry. Just enjoy some extra love and snuggles right now.

    I use my k'tan and cradle him so he sleeps and I can do what I want or sleep with him... I love it!!
